Kitten under tree

June 2023

Paper and Ink + Rubber to make the stamp

Carissa Wong

I was tasked with creating a piece that included a flora and fauna type of creation. I chose a cat and tree but decided that it would be plain with just those ones so I put butterflies surrounding the tree.

I decided to use those two because I love cats and a cat resting under a tree surrounded by butterflies is cute and relaxing. The materials I used for this project were a piece of rubber with carving tools. I carved out my design that I created onto the rubber and transferred it using inking tools. Cats are my favourite animal so that is why I decided to use a cat but like I stated above, there wasn’t much detail as the sky was blank. I then printed a digital design I drew on my laptop and transferred it on the rubber that was provided. I carved out the white spaces and then used ink to make the final product above. I really like how it turned out and it was fun making it even though there were some problems with the carving.
